You Should Know: Essential Commands and Tools for Cloud Security
1. AWS Security Commands
- Check IAM policies:
aws iam list-policies --scope Local
- Audit S3 bucket permissions:
aws s3api get-bucket-acl --bucket YOUR_BUCKET_NAME
2. Azure Security Commands
- List role assignments:
Get-AzRoleAssignment | Format-Table
- Check secure score (Azure Security Center):
Get-AzSecuritySecureScore
3. Linux Security Hardening
- Check open ports:
sudo netstat -tulnp
- Audit file permissions:
sudo find / -type f -perm /4000 -ls
4. Windows Security Commands
- List firewall rules:
Get-NetFirewallRule | Select-Object Name, Enabled
- Check patch levels:
Get-HotFix | Sort-Object InstalledOn -Descending
5. Kubernetes Security
- Check pod security policies:
kubectl get psp
- Audit cluster roles:
kubectl get clusterroles --no-headers | wc -l
What Undercode Say
Cloud security requires continuous monitoring and automation. Use these commands to:
– Automate compliance checks (e.g., AWS Config, Azure Policy).
– Enforce least privilege (e.g., aws iam create-policy-version
).
– Detect misconfigurations (e.g., `kube-bench` for Kubernetes).
For deeper study, explore the NIST Cloud Computing Security Reference Architecture (NIST SP 500-299).
Expected Output
- AWS/IAM policy JSON.
- Azure Secure Score metrics.
- List of vulnerable SUID files in Linux.
- Windows firewall rule table.
- Kubernetes Pod Security Policies (PSPs).
